All too often, I see products marketed as “the one” product your little one needs to sleep. If you just get this one special product, all of your sleep troubles will be solved. And that could not be more misleading! Yes, use a sound machine so your babe won’t wake up to every sound in […]
I’ve known people who have canceled travel plans because their child’s sleep is such a challenge and they don’t want to risk it getting worse.

Did the mere title of this post make the hairs on the back of your neck stand straight up? Those who have heard of the four-month sleep regression dread those words.
